If I claim my child as a dependent can she still file her owe taxes?
A child must always file their own tax return for income earned in their own name. The only time you might include a child's income on a parent's tax return is if the income is only from investments, and under a certain dollar amount.
If the child has a job, they must file their own return. This does not usually affect whether they are your dependent, but the child must answer "yes, I can be claimed as a dependent by someone else" as part of their tax return.
